Jay-Z: "KanYe Sparked The (D.O.A) Idea"

by The Chosen Few on July 17th, 2009

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/346/406/25076/asset.jpegFor those who are looking forward to demise Of Auto-Tune lead by Jay-Z should also be thanking Auto-Tune supporter KanYe West.

"He (KanYe) actually sparked the idea," Jay-Z told Billboard.com;

"When he heard the beat he said, 'Man, this is just so hard! This has to be against everything -- no auto-tune, none of that type of stuff!' He didn't know what I was going to do or where I was going to take it, but it was actually his fault."

Jay-Z also informed Billboard that him & Yeezy and actually recorded a song using Auto-Tune but once they came up with D.O.A, they felt they had to scrap the song.

"After we made the 'D.O.A.' record about a month ago." Jigga explained, "We were like, 'if it's got to go, it's got to go.'"

BluePrint 3 is set to hit shelves September 11, on the anniversary of his first BluePrint album, on Roc Nation with distribution via Atlantic Records.

isnt it hypocritical to be leading the death of autotune “movement”.. then to also record a song in autotune.. anyway i like jay-z but not as much as u guys— and this nigga is gettin played the fuck out.. he really should just retire.. i wont be buyin his cd based on the fact 10 years ago he made a good cd wit the same title— but im sure many of u will.. in my opinion theres havent been too many rappers that have fallen off as much as jay from his 1st cd to now

lol how is that ironic? it’s all business, noone really propagates anything they believe in, its all about the $$$ and that’s why rap music is retarded, and it’s fans are mindless, idiotic followers…i’m not even gonna say mainstream rap, because even shit that isn’t greedily consumed and followed by the crowd sucks, unless it has a social/political message that isn’t self-serving…

anyway, how is that ironic? if i was a selfish gay-fish that made something popular, and that something has now become a trade-mark of mine, wouldn’t it only be logical for me to not want anyone else to do it?…once I milked it, i’d say it’s time has passed, and now anyone who uses it is fucking lame, because they are just copying me, the original creative genius

Its actually not a masonic handshake. They have one where they press the second knuckle with thumb, and they have one where they press in between the first and second knuckle. I aint trying to call you out. But I had seen something b4 bout Jay being a mason and shit. And when you made your statement I looked it up. but if you got other info proving me wrong or yourself right post it.

Fuck that, these old ass rappers need to pack it up and call it a day. Especially Mr Hawaiian Sofie… Gay-Z. Jus’ tryna create buzz off that DOA shit. What he the rap police now dictating how niggas make their music. He just mad cause he sound retarded as fuck on the auto-tune. Last good song I heard from Hov was 99 problems. This dude playing cards with 4 white dudes sipping wine… Yeah picture me… “yeah dog let’s go play some cards and sip on this wine.”…Kinda homosexual…So… not happening. I think that might be the exact opposite of going hard. Fuck cards… dice hit the wall. And we still crack 40s cause that shit gets u fucked up. I cant get toe up off no muhfukin’ wine… And even if… do you have a cork screw at ur crib nigga? I don’t. And in my 22 yrs on this planet i don’t think i have ever smoked a cigar… I’ve gutted bout a million of dem bytches though… That OG is where its @. (Snap!!! Snap!!!) Stay focussed man… But yeah… what it is, is the souf’s where its @ now… Fuck albums!!! The only thing I’m buyin outta NY is clothes… SoHo is where its @… Get at me or get like me.

i don’t love nor hate the song. it just exists. but some of ya’ll are taking this a lil’ too personally.

i could care less if Jay plays cards and sips wine or hang-glides. his life doesn’t affect me. but one thing to take in perspective is you’re 22 and he’s 40. why in God’s name would a 40 year old man want to shoot dice on the block while drinking forties?

Jay’s rich. R-I-C-H. you may not see folks in our class bracket sipping imported wine, smoking cigars and playing poker with Harvey Keitel but you see plenty of rich folks doing those things.

auto-tune is a fad. i won’t say its good or bad but it won’t be here two years from now. remember when you HAD to have Lil John screaming on your record? remember when Ja Rule was dueting with every R&B singer on the planet and owning the charts? remember hyphy? remember snap music? remember reggaeton? all those fads happened this decade.

Haha you can continue to play your dollar dice games and sip your $2.50 forties. Let Jay-Z get his $50,000 buy in card games and sip on that expensive italian wine. You look like the real winner there!

And wine has almost twice as much alcohol in it as beer so I dunno what your talkin about it not able to get you twisted. Personally I think the shit tastes like ass but everyone got their own thing going on and acquired tastes.

How you gonna diss Jay for playing cards and sippin wine (Hi class shit!) and then say you shop in Soho! Get the fuck out of here wit yo broke ass!! You know your rockin white tees!! I mean come on you still drink 40’s!! The only thing you probably do have at your crib, if your still not in mommys basement, is a mattress, a radio, and a old ass 28" tv!! Jay was making classics like Reasonable Doubt and In My Lifetime Vol 1 when you was still wettin the bed. Keep you broke country ass down south with your Soulja Boi and Hurricane Chris!!

yeah I really dont give a crap who came up with the song….its hot….whatever….but what is bothering me here is all these Jay-z is played out comments…..if you no longer like his music then fine…don’t support…but I have to say…I sure wish Hip-Hop fans were more like Rock-nRoll fans in the sense that…if a person is putting out quality material you support it…thats why the Rolling Stones are still packing STADIUMS…not clubs….muthafuuucin ARENAS…cuz they got loyal fanbases…..they 60 year old fans with the sticking out tounge t shirts…LOYALTY man….while yall round here bumpin soulja boy and shit…dont ever let the media or mass marketing tell you what is hot as far as rap goes…Hip Hop is anti-society in its essence….it makes no sense to me the that KRS-ONE is looked at as played…and old….he should be respected…you want to judge a quality Hip-Hop record…fire a blunt and listen to it by urself…if you dont here a quotable or have to hit the rewind…then that aint rap…thats that new new…Webstar, Yung Berg, Juiceman bullshit…..damn I sound old…..guess that means I have a low tolerance for wack rap LOL
